British pubs are closing by the hundreds every year. Meanwhile, Cuba might soon become more and more commercialized with renewed relations to the U.S. burgeoning.
For hopeful travelers, the waiting game is over. Start ticking trips off your bucket list; otherwise, the idyllic sights and sounds of old Britain or classic Cuba might not be there anymore. The time is now, and IU Travels can get you there.
IU Professor Jim Madison will be traveling to England this coming May, so why don’t you go grab a pint with him at a local establishment? After walking through a set of stone gates in Canterbury, you’ll find yourself on High Street where you can duck into the Black Griffin to play some board games with your pint of Boddingtons or head over to Lady Luck to catch some live music. Nestled within the remnants of Roman walls, you can roam Canterbury’s cobbled streets until you find the perfect pint.
If you want a something less old world and more tropical, venture 90 miles south of Key West, Florida this March. IU Travels will take you on a Cuban voyage that’s the only cruise of its kind. Aboard the M/V Victory I, you’ll circumnavigate a country that has been virtually untouched by U.S. citizens for 50 years.
While the densely populated capital city of Havana will offer you a dynamic, yet intimate, portrait of Cuban life, the sprawling tobacco fields of the Viñales Valley will immerse you in rural traditions. So, go see where you fit in to island life. Will it be the bustle of Santiago de Cuba or the tranquil beaches of Caibarién?
Whether you’re strolling along the Malecón in Havana or the Roman walls in Canterbury, you’ll be taking charge of your own adventures. Don’t let the world pass you by; it won’t wait for you to catch up.
